Elizabeth Merry

"We All Die in the End" (Scenes From a Small Town) This intriguing collection of interlinked stories set on the Co Down coast, is full of devious, eccentric, lonely characters. Many of the stories are grim, some deal with abusive relationships, but there's a lot of black humour in this book. and an odd flash of joy too. There are nineteen stories in total, sixteen of which have been published in literary magazines, have been broadcast, or both. From recent reviews: "Elizabeth Merry's characters leap from the page, fully formed. Within a few paragraphs, I can visualize them in my mind." Jean M Roberts "The stories were compelling and addictive, and the characters so well-devised that I found myself gripped, wondering where the next story was going to go." Sammi Cox Elizabeth Merry was born in Bangor, Co Down, but has spent most of her life in Dublin. She has published many short stories, poetry, and a novel for children (now out of print). Elizabeth hopes to publish a collection of poems "The Red Petticoat" in the near future. www.embookstuff.wordpress.com
